Maybe Chan Sung Jung just didn’t feel like he said it loud enough after his last fight.

So on Friday, “The Korean Zombie” reiterated what he said after his last win: He wants a shot at UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo, and when he gets it, he plans on leaving with the title.

Jung (13-3 MMA, 3-0 UFC) isn’t on Twitter much – he’s posted just seven messages since his May 15 upset of Dustin Poirier (12-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC). But it’s his last post that is standing up and asking to be noticed.

“I want Jose Aldo. I will end his reign as a Champion,” Jung posted Friday morning.

It wasn’t much different than what he told Jon Anik after his fourth-round submission of Poirier this past month. But maybe Jung believes some campaigning is in order, what with Aldo sidelined for a while, and, as MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) recently reported, UFC president Dana White’s admitting he isn’t sure whom Aldo will face when he returns.

Jung headlined UFC on FUEL TV 3 against Poirier and was a sizable underdog against the streaking featherweight. The pair slugged it out both on the feet and the canvas for three rounds in Fairfax, Va., before Jung put things to bed in the fourth. He landed an uppercut, a flying knee and, with Poirier wobbled, he shot for a takedown and locked in a D’arce choke that put his opponent to sleep.

Jung’s first five fights in North America (four in the States, one in Canada) have resulted in a 3-2 record, which seems pedestrian. But his WEC debut was a controversial split decision loss to Leonard Garcia that the majority of MMA media scored in Jung’s favor – many of them with 30-27 scores. After being stunned with an out-of-nowhere head-kick knockout loss to George Roop, the “Zombie” has been on fire.

Since migrating to the UFC, Jung avenged his loss to Garcia with a “Submission of the Night” (and “Submission of the Year”) twister – the first such finish in UFC history. Then he knocked out former title challenger Mark Hominick in a shocking seven seconds at UFC 140 this past December. And against Poirier, he derailed the Louisiana native’s almost certain shot at being the No. 1 contender.

Aldo was scheduled to defend his belt against Erik Koch next month at UFC 149, but pulled out with an injury that could have him sidelined till late fall. With that news, White said he’s unsure if the Aldo-Koch fight still will happen when the champ is ready to return.

And perhaps complicating matters is the recent UFC on FX 4 wins by Ricardo Lamas and Cub Swanson in the division. Lamas knocked off Hatsu Hioki, who widely was regarded as the No. 2 145-pounder in the world. And Swanson spoiled Ross Pearson’s hope for a quick run up the featherweight ladder. Lamas has a submission win over Swanson, which almost certainly puts him ahead in line.

But it could be Jung who ultimately comes out on the other side with a title shot. Stranger things have happened when injuries put title pictures on hold. If his sudden quick burst of Twitter swagger is any indication, that’s exactly what “The Korean Zombie” is hoping for.
